This Saturday, the UC organized a trip to Copenhagen. I was pretty exhausted from the beginning because it was Mint’s birthday the day before, and we cooked for 27 people (~.~). With only 4 hrs of sleep, I got up rather early on that morning, hopped on the bus to Copenhagen. Really wasn’t a good start.

The ride to Denmark took about 1.5 hrs, and we first arrived at the ARKEN Museum of Modern Art. We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the art works in the museum, so I took a picture of the bathroom. The sink in the middle of the bathroom weights about 2 tons, and looked like it was made out of marble. We had a guided tour to the exhibition of Chagall’s work (Chagall’s World of Love), then we had about 45 mins to wonder around the museum. Afterwards, we went to the city center and had a fabulous vegetarian lunch.

After overfeeding ourselves at the lunch buffet, we visited the Rosenborg Castle. The castle is located in the heart of the city, surrounded by a garden/park that is still green at this time of the year. Inside the castles were paintings, furniture, and other usual items you can expect from a castle. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take pictures when I was inside the castle because 1) I had to buy a camera permit, and 2) I would have bought the permit, but I was with a large crowd of people. Being pretty much the shortest person the crowd didn’t really give me any chance of taking any good shots, so I gave up. To make up for the losses, I took many pictures (many of them repeat each other) of the castle from the outside instead.

Afterwards, we had about 1.5 hrs to explore the city. We went up to a tower in town, and got some really good views of the city of Copenhagen. I saw a horse carriage while I was eating icecream.
